Pervs On Patrol Ashley Edmonds - A Sharking Tale -

Scholars such as Hutcheon (2000) and Gray (2014) have highlighted satire’s reliance on exaggeration and inversion to critique power structures. Within this framework, marine imagery has historically signified danger, mystery, and the unknown—evident in works ranging from Melville’s Moby‑Dick to contemporary cyber‑themed novels (Nguyen, 2019). Edmonds’ deployment of the “shark” aligns with this lineage, functioning both as a literal antagonist and as an emblem of predatory media practices.
